- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Flavorings, Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.
